DOES DEATH END ALL t "Yes, death ends ah the puny feuds of man— The earthly fevers and the strife for gold, Which make life seem as some half-finished plan, told. And look so little when the tale is Men strive a while each circumstance to mould, To meet some feeble purpose of the heart, Then nears the end—the blood grows thin and cold, And then the soul, grown tired of Time and Art, Half forms the wish that it might soon depart. Death ends the platform quibbling of the weak Who only caper to make mankind stare. Scant is the meaning in the words they speak— More scant the judgment in the creeds they share: But then, this land is free as God’s own air, And men are free to institute rare schools To mock morality and sneer at prayers— To perch themselves on scientific stools, And mete out wisdom—or bo simply fools. Death ends all doubting, doubt belongs to earth— We know so little of our own estate. We grow impatient close upon our birth; And few there be who know ’tis well to wait. Such small successes make the heart elate, That we despise the wide, unknown abyss Of God’s deep -wisdom, measureless and great. Onr pigmy judgment sees the world amiss," And charges to His name—death ends all this ! But what of man’s sublimer part, the soul ? Hath it no longing scarcely satisfied? Does this life seem to it a mighty whole, Or but a wave on the eternal tide— A stream so narrow to a sea so wide ? Ah ! still to reason, when life’s ending nears, One thought is paramount o’er all beside— A wish to rise to more exalted spheres, And progress still through everlasting years. Whence comes this wish ? Did the eternal one Furnish all things the spirit fairly knows With tastes fulfilled, and leave tlio soul undone? Not so. Toward the sun the leaflet grows, While from the sun the leaflet’s living flow’s. TIius shall the soul, through death's dark shadows fall, Find what it craves where’er its essence goes. And through the tear-clouds that surround the pall Behold this legend—death does not end all. —William Lyle in Rochester Union. HOW ONE WIFE MANAGED. BY DB. XHO LEWIS. Deacon M., a rich, respectable man ot Sixty-six, married for his third wife, Katie C., a pretty sewing girl of twenty two. Some weeks before tlie wedding, Katie, who had bem patient, came to ask us'she my advice about lier marriage, though, afterward confessed, she was al¬ ready engaged. I frankly advised against the match,spoke of the Deacon’s daugh¬ ters older than herself, and urged his well-known penuriousness. rich, But had Katie was poor; the Deacon was a fine house, kept a carriage, and was the most considerable person in the neigh¬ borhood. They were married. The neighbors congratulated after her. the wedding, About two years Katie asked mo, in a little noto, to call, and mentioned that she wished to seo me confidentially. She was not very sick, but wanted to ask my advice about her troubles. With much sobbing she told me that after being very kind for a few months, the Deacon had joined his daughters against her. I tried to comfort her, urging that in every position in life there ■were trials which we must bear with Christian patience. clothing, and ‘But,” said she, “I need have often Bpoken of it, but he always tellB me of what the Apostle says about braided hair, and gold, and pearls, and costly array.” quarrel, perhaps Fearing a bitter a separation, and thinking I might assist in preventing it, I encouraged Katie to confide in me, and begged ner to keep her troubles from all the world besides. She remained “sick” a week, that she might have some one to talk to and cry to. She finally said: “I suppose even you think I am too fond of dress, and that the Deacon is right when he lectures me against the vanities of this world. When I was married I had only three good dresses. Our Irish servant lias a better wardrobe than I ever had ” Katie’s mind dwelt so much upon dress, that 1 thought it best to learn the facts. She at length convinced me that the Deacon’s refusal was a piece of his characteristic "Wanness. After a good deal of thought, I reached the conclusion for the thousandth time, that a wife has rights which the husband is bound to respect. I advised a plain, frank talk with the Deacon. The next day she told me that ho had said she had bet¬ ter wait till lie had paid the doctor’s bill before she talked about dress. It was clear that between the father and the daughters this poor child was pretty sure to be crushed. At length a plan of escape occurred to me. Katie could run a sewing machine. I took good Mrs. G. into my confidence, and then said to Katie: “Earn money with your sewing ma¬ chine, and buy a dress. Mrs. G. is my friend. She is a prudent woman, and will furnish the motive sewing.” getting well, Having a for dropped Katie was up the next day. I in several times and found my patient getting on famously. silk appeared At length a resplendent in the Deaoou’s pew. The sisters were astonished, and after the “ninthly” divided had been time safely passed, they path glory their between the shining to of which the good man was speaking, and the Bhining gown in the Deacon’s pew. The Deaoon was puzzled ! Here was ihe new dress which he had refused to buy. How did she get it? He was ashamed to ask. Katie said nothing. The daughters interrogated the dress¬ maker. She said the silk came, she made the dress; the Deacon’s wife had paid her; she presumed the Deacon fur¬ nished the money; he certainly was rich enough. The merchant was quizzed. The young wife had paid That him for all the silk and trimmings. was he knew. There were only three of us whe knew where the money came from. Tin Deacon and his daughters were not like¬ ly to find out about it until we chose to In another month a pretty hat was added to the young wife’s wardrobe, while the gorgeous silk shone on in all its glory, mocking alike the curiosity of her family and the ambition of the sis¬ terhood. “And now for pity’s sake, where did the vain, silly thing get that ridiculous hat ? I wonder if she has forgotten that she is a deacon’s wife ?” Various articles of clothing appeared from time to time, and we were develop¬ ing our “little game.” Katie knew noth¬ ing of onr ulterior purpose. We did not dare to give her the least hint of it; it would have frightened her. She with went her on for months earning money sewing machine, and buying coveted ar¬ ticles of dress and ornament. Of course it was very silly, but the poor child was not a bit of a deaconess. She had joined her husband’s church, but the work of grace did not go deep enough to touch the love of French flowers. After a time Mrs. G. whispered to a gossiping neighbor. Everybody in town, except the Deacon and his daughters, knew the whole affair within twenty-four hours. Soon the Deacon received an anonymous letter, saying: wife is “You are disgraced. Your sewing to earn money to buy clothes. The whole neighborhood is sneering at you.” The Deacon went straight at his young wife. “Where did you get the money to buy your new clothes ?” “I earned it by sewing!” ?” “Who have you been sewing for “I cannot tell you !” “But I must know, and I will know!” “If you ever find it out, it will be through somebody besides me. I wouldn’t tell to save my life!” “But do you know wbat you are doing? Does not the Bible command wives to obey their husbands ? You will be sorry for this.” “That is possible; but my mind is made up.” “But, my dear Katie, if you wanted money to buy clothes, You why did you not come to me? know if yon need money, all you have to do is to come right to me. I would not have had you done this thing for ten thousand dollars. The world’s people will never stop talk¬ ing about it.” “I am surprised,” said Katie. “You can’t have forgotten that I have asked you again and again for money to buy clothing, and yon have not given me a dollar since we were married.” With mingled anger and shame, the Deacon exclaimed: “Then why won’t you set apart what¬ ever yon think is necessary for my clothing ? If you will give me an allow¬ ance, as you do the girls, I will he very thankful You know what you give them. If yon want me to dress as well as they do, and you will allow me the same, it shall not be wasted !” “Would it not be better, Katie, to look upon our purse ns belonging to both of us alike, and whenever you want any¬ thing you go to it the same as I do. I am sure a man’s wife has just as goo l rights as the man himself ! Katie, sha’n’t we leave it just ns it is, and you spend whatever you please ?” “Of course. Deacon, I shall have to do just as you thuik best, but I ought to be honest, and tell you that I think it would be better to arrange a definite sum, lie and then thinking I shall about not it. be ” obliged to awake • « ‘Well,” said the Deacon, “I will tell you what wc will do. I will hand you ten dollars every three months, which you must use for pin money, and when you want ... to buy a dress, or any other such arge thing, come right to me.” Katie made one more effort. Deacon, r am sorry you can t see it as I do. I. shall use all the money you may give me ju a very prudent way, but it there is less than I need, I shall earn it with my own hands. I '*nll not beg again as “Well, now I want you to understand tlint if you need any money you must come right to me. This scandal, which is sure to spread all over town, is a burn ing shame. I can’t see what you were thinking about. It will be an eternal disgrace to us all. The girls won’t dare hold up their heads. My wife taking in have sewing ! Pretty story ! I had rather in given you a satin dress every day the year, than to. have had you done this thing! Why in the world didn’t you tell me you wanted some money? I would have given you a thousand dol lars any day.” “Why, Deacon, what makes you say that ? Don’t you remember that day when the dressmaker -was here making dresses for the girls, I begged for a dress, and at last was foolish enough to cry about it, and you pushed me away, and said you didn’t think you had mar ried a cry-baby ? That is the last time I ever asked you for money. I fear I am not as useful as yon expected, and I don’t see why I may not earn the little money I need. I am sure I don’t want to be a burden to you. ” “Katie, don’t talk in that way. Wily, the world’s people will never stop poking at me. My wife taking in sewing! Don’t that sound nice.” long as I live.” This was exactly what she had promised to say. “Well,” angrily interrupted the Dea¬ con, “as I am dealing with a Jew, I must come down. Madam, what are your terms ?” “I have no terms; I only want admail amount of money to buy a'few garnronts. I will not humiliate myself by begging for it. If you will arrange to furnish me with it, I shall be grateful, and give you in return all there is of me. If yon do not give me the money when I need it, I shall work for it. If there is any extra work in your family which I can do for pay, I shall prefer to work for you; but if not, I shall, with every pre¬ caution to save your feelings, ask for work outside.” “Madam, will you be kind enough to mention your terms ?” “If you will give two hundred dollars a year, and will be kind enough to let me have a quarter of it every three months, I will make it pay for my cloth¬ ing. You give each of your daughters three hundred, bat I will make two hundred dollars do, and I will never ask tor more. If yon will be so good as to allow me this sum, it will relieve me of a great trouble.” “Let it be so,” angrily exclaimed the Deacon. As he went out, he muttered tc him¬ self, “My wife taking in sewing I The world's people will never stop sneering at me. Taking in sewing! Pretty will story ! Never can tell what a woman do ! Most unreasonable creatures in the world ! Taking in sewing ! Wouldn’t bad it happen for ten thousand dollars ! The world’s people will never stop laugh¬ ing about it.” With persons in comfortable circum¬ stances this is a good and wise expedient. Most happily I have known it to work in a number of cases. It has many ad¬ vantages; it is honest, convincing and effective. It challenges the respect of the husband, and if done in and a gentle spirit awakens his sympathy sense of justice. With a little patience I think it will prove uniformly successful. Most husbands will indignantly de¬ nounce all such interference with the management of their families, If a husband goes astray, nine men in ten are furious at the tale-bearer who communi¬ cates with the wife; but let the wife go astray, how full of sympathy and help for the wronged husband these same nine men are. Gentlemen, fellow-husbands, has not this animal, brutal selfishness gone about far enough? Has not the time come, in the race of life, to remove ail obstacles from the pathway of those whom we call “the weaker vessels ?” If either of us must be handicapped, which do you, brave men, say it shall be ?— Dio Lewis's Monthly. MILLIONS OF SWALLOWS. A Strange Sight Seen in a Small Suburban Town* In the little town of Westerly, B. I., there has been annually occurring for several years past a peculiar phenome¬ non of great interest. The phenomenon consists in the fact that millions of swal¬ lows and other birds are accustomed during each summer season to congre¬ in gate every night in a certain grove the town roosting of Westerly, place, and making their the trees their move¬ ments as they come and go about this resort afford a basis for much comment and speculation. When we first reached the scene we noticed several swallows flitting here and there in the air, but about seven o’clock their number seemed legion. One could think of nothing but a snow storm with large black flakes. From the plainest outlines of the lowest flying birds to the merest black specks of the most aspiring wanderers, the pic¬ ture was that ofconstantly moving, inter¬ mingling millions of little winged crea¬ tures. It was a sight never to be forgotten. At times no two birds seemed to be fly¬ ing in the same direction, though, as a whole, the v^st side company would sway from side to above the grove. Again, a group of hundreds would take a common direction, circling around the inner circumference of the general com¬ pany, now descending toward the tree tops with a symmetrical swoop, then rising in the air till almost lost to view. Then they would return to the common crowd and resume their separate courses as before. The individual flyers would tilt and joust with each other, or play at cross-tag in the air. It was a constantly moving kaleidoscope. All the while new comers were still streaming < in from all quarters, and at 7:15 o’clock the multitude had become dense. About this time there was a sudden cessation of the various flights, and a general circu¬ lar motion of the whole company was apparent. Round and round in a broad sweeping circle over the grove they flow for several minutes, until all had joined in the common direction. Then they began to draw closer and closer together ina constantly narrowing circle, and the centre of the mass was observed grad uad y J j- 0 gink in funnel shape toward tlle tree tops f . Suddenly with almost the rapidit o{ thought, the whole host van j sbedi circling in the tree tops with a wb i rr ing G f wings distinctly tili, heard, and goon tbe ft j r waa a j mos t 8 broken only by the greeting chirps of the now late comers, who were still straggling in in 8ma li groups and singly. These last arrivals did not pause to circle about in the air, but flew in toward the grove as straight as an brothers arrow and vanished lightning-like among their settled with rapidity. As we now drew still nearer the edge of the grove the rustling and chirping of tlio birds settled among themselves the leaves and branches as they in comfort for the night could be dis tincly beard. To say that the cubic space occupied by the birds in this nightly flying to and fro, after all hare gathered, does not exceed 500 feet dimensions each way, and that, compressed into this space in tlieir close flight, the birds would not exceed twenty-five in each 1,000 cubic feet of space (ten feet each way) is to make estimates which all who have seen the birds will most certainly call wi h in bounds; and yet these estimates would give a total of at least 3,125,000 birds, China’s Strength. The military of China consists of the imperial guard, 18,000 strong; the in¬ fantry guard, 5,200 strong; 1,750 artil¬ lerymen; the Chihli armory, officered by Englishmen, 80,000 strong and armed with breech-loading rifles. Altogether China cau put into the field at a mo¬ ment’s notice about 120,000 men. Be¬ hind this her reserve in case of conscrip¬ tion is almost incalculable. She has three fleets, the Canton, the Fu Klang and the Shanghai, numbering twenty nine men-of-war of modern pattern. Thirteen of these vessels are built of steel and are said to be superior iu arm¬ ament and defensive equipment to any boat of their size afloat i Monster Locomotive.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter- of Ocean, writing from the ancient town Yarmouth, Me., says: There are some good stories told about the old meeting house, of which nothing remains now but the vane, which some enthusiastic antiquarians have placed upon “the ledge”—one of the hills of the town. It was the first church built in Maine. In those days every man carried his musket to church with him, and these were stacked outside the door, while the sen¬ tinels kept watch during the service, and others were posted at different points through the town. One quiet Sabbath, while the preacher held forth upon the ruin of unbelievers, and the congrega¬ tion slumbered peacefully in their high backed pews, a signal gun was heard from the Prince’s Point Station. An¬ other sharp report followed, and still- an other. The minister did not wait for the fifthly in his discourse, but dashed down the pulpit stairs and joined the excited multitude outside. From their commanding situation they saw a strange craft sailing up Casco Bay. It carried no colors. They couia see no men on its deck. After a hurried consultation it was decided to send an armed depu¬ tation to Prince’s Point to find out the mission of the mysterious vessel. The women and children, with a few men for defence, remained on the hill, while the heroic band marched down to the point and awaited the arrival of the stranger. An hour passed and they returned. The bark was—a schooner from down the coast which had sailed up for timber ! The Chronicle tells only the bare story, and with a grain of facetiousness, as if the humor was evident enough without any comments. It does not attempt to account either for the fall of the plaster in the same church at the very moment when the parson, a gloomy man with a sonorous voice and pessimistic views of life, was enlarging on the parage • ‘Blow ye the trumpet! Babylon shall fall and become heaps,” but simply says that “the people thought that the end of the world had come, and did leave the meeting-house in great distraction, in¬ juring a woman seriously by trampling upon her in their haste to get out of the door.” Advice To a Young Man. Yon will perceive, my boy, that every time man undertakes to manufacture a little Bible on his own account, he makes a mortifying failure of it. He is caught at it, and in one-tentli the time it took him to conceive his fraud, in as many hours as it took him months to prepare it, he is exposed, and his hand made ad¬ dition to the Bible is swept away in the other rubbish of other counterfeiters. You see, my son, the Bible doesn’t need any of these 19tli century proofs of its truth; it needs the word of no man to establish its genuineness; it has stood by itself, ‘ ‘an anvil that has worn out many hammers” through century after cen¬ tury, unchanged and unchangeable. Every time a man manufactures a new verse or a new chapter, we know it is not genuine, we detect the counterfeit. The Bible has no need of the support ing prop of a fraudulent ark or a leather Deuteronomy. There was a complete Bible centuries before Shapira hap¬ pened and there will be the same Bible ages after Shapira and his patent Deu¬ teronomy have together crumbled into indistinguishable dust. The Bible doesn’t need our help, our testi¬ mony, our indorsement. And if there had never been discovered in all the world, a bit of parchment, a piece of pottery or a scratched stone the Bible would be just as strong as it is to-day, and men would believe just as firmly and trustfully in its truth. Don’t you worry, my boy, because Shapira’s an¬ cient manuscript was written with Lon¬ don ink, and don’t fret because the ark in the glacier turns out to bo put to¬ gether with Pittsburg nails. That all the frauds on the Bible and its history are so quickly and easily detected, should only convince you how impossi¬ ble it is for man to counterfeit the work of God. Wait until some man fools us with an artificial moon; and until some philosopher stores away tlio sunlight in parlor lamps, before you believe that man can successfully imitate what man never made.

Of this number only twenty- sixteen nine were convicted and only jiaid the extreme penalty of the law. Of those convicted one committed suicide aud twelve got their sentences com¬ muted. Here, then, during a period of little more than twenty years were a hundred and seventy murders in one State and only sixteen executions. In Connecticut during a period of thirty years, from 1850 to 1880, ninety seven persons were tried for murder in the first degree. Of these only and thirteen were convicted of that crime not more than seven were hanged. The statistics for other States would doubtless show similar results. In New York city there were a hundred and eighty-five homicides during the four years ending with 1877. There was an average of nearly one homicide a week. During the same period there were four executions, or just one a year. The number of persons tried for murder in the first degree in the city is about twenty-five every year, the number hanged does not exceed on the average one or two a year. These figures are full of significance. They show that either through the fault of the law itself or its administration by juries the statute imposing, the death penalty for murder is in the vast ma¬ jority of eases a dead letter. They further show that while murder is a common crime the murderer iu a great many instances succeeds in escaping punishment entirely .— N. Y. Herald.
